WORKMAN HIGH SCHOOL

STEMSTERS Last month on June 21st, 2024, Workman Key Club worked with STEMsters to host a mini trampoline experiment at Holy Trinity Lutheran Preschool. We first presented the slides provided by STEMsters to the kids. It educated the kids about physics concepts such as elasticity, freefall, energy, and momentum. Moreover, it explained how the kids would be building their mini trampoline. After our quick presentation, we moved onto constructing the mini trampoline.

Overall, this experiment was a success because the kids were able to have fun while learning something new.

Using materials such as popsicle sticks, cloth, rubber bands, and scissors, the kids constructed their trampolines while our members helped them by securing the pieces together with hot glue. Finally, after we finished building the trampolines, we let the kids test the elasticity of their trampolines with marbles. The kids were able to see how elasticity affects the bounce of objects. Our editor, Jimmy Nguyen, says, “Although the experiment was a little stressful because we were working with hot glue around kids, both our members and the kids had a fun time working on this project. I’m excited to see what other experiments we’ll get to work on in the future!”

Walnut Key Club members collaborated with STEMsters, a STEM-focused non-profit organization, on Friday, June 14, at Hacienda Heights. STEMsters first involved members in teaching the children about ships that landed astronauts on the moon or Space Landers. Key Clubbers also provided fill-in-the-blank worksheets and helped present colorful lessons that taught the children the science behind the various items they would create. “Working on the Space Landers task, I thought that it was a fun approach towards teaching science and engineering,” cabinet leader Kyle Le said. “The kids were able to develop their motor and leadership skills and work alongside one another, so the experience helped them build character.”

Walnut Key Club

“It felt rewarding watching the kids make their Space Landers," cabinet leader Elaine Zhu said. "I enjoyed volunteering with my friends and sparking the students' interests in STEM." After the kids finished their projects, the boxes were dropped from a height, and whichever box survived with the most marshmallows would win. Ultimately, working alongside STEMsters’ representatives allowed Key Clubbers to interact with other club volunteers and create unforgettable childhood memories for the students they aided.

Ellies then helped guide and direct the main event, the arts and crafts lesson, showing the children how to design their own Space Landers with boxes. They offered materials such as cardboard, paper, tape, cups, straws and marshmallows, which served as the astronauts.

Charter oak

OFFICER BONDING 06.14.24 In late June, the Charter Oak Key Club officers planned and held an officer bonding event, at Snow Creek Park.

During the picnic, Treasurer Joanna Vong stated, “This picnic was a great idea!” This event was a bonding picnic to encourage closeness between the 2024 officer board. During this picnic, each officer contributed by bringing food or drinks for everyone to share,

and even a bracelet-making kit was brought for making Key Club-themed bracelets.

Later, a volleyball was brought out for the officers to enjoy playing resulting in a fun yet relaxing bonding event for Charter Oak.

CLUB BOOTH On June 29th, John A. Rowland Key Club was invited by Mary Price to help her at a booth for a community event.

This booth promoted Rowland Heights’ Kiwanis Club. Despite the late notice, some of Rowland Key Club’s officers were happy to help.

These officers included Veronica Loh (Rowland KC’s Treasurer) and Karolyn Siu (Rowland Key Club’s Vice President). Veronica was the first to guarantee her availability and was able to bring her little sister Jessica Loh along.

Although she was not a member of Key Club, she was able to contribute her time and effort into promoting Rowland Heights Kiwanis Club’s booth. We are hoping that one day this experience might encourage her to join Key Club and be a part of something bigger.

Overall, our officers’ willingness to come and support the event at such short notice demonstrates how dedicated they are to promoting community service.

It felt heartwarming to hear her ask, “Can I bring my sister too?” Jessica became another helping hand at the booth and was also invited to the “StuffA-Bus” event.

GAME NIGHT Covina Key Club | Titilola Opanubi 07.15.24

O n July 15th, our club hosted Covina Game

Night, an engaging bonding event. Members enjoyed thrilling games like Dress to Impress, Gartic Phone, and skribbl.io, and concluded with a lively screening of Disney’s Cruella. The night was filled with lots of laughter and excitement, sparked by the competitive spirit of the exciting games.

Participant Kody Lam said, “The game

night was honestly a lot of fun; I’m looking forward to more events like that in the future.” The event’s success and enthusiastic feedback have inspired us to plan more fun and engaging activities throughout the year to keep the momentum going.

OTC ‘24 - ‘25

On June 22, 2024, D35E and D35W held this year's Officer Training Conference (OTC) at Sierra Vista High School! It provided a great opportunity for members to build their leadership skills, learn about Key Club’s origin, and meet other seals from 35W! Throughout the day, they could attend various workshops covering crucial topics such as fundraising, public speaking, and much more. Upcoming officers were trained on many aspects of their position, ensuring a smooth transition into this term.

Moreover, general members were also encouraged to participate in these workshops to better understand the responsibilities of the club's roles and to support their elected officers effectively.

JOANNA VONG COHS TREASURER ELLEN CHANG NHS KEY CLUB ADVISOR

“It has been a fulfilling summer so far!

I’ve been going to the gym at least three times a week and have learned to play pickleball. It was easy to pick up but competitive to play with friends while burning a lot of calories. I also went to Raging Waters for the first time in almost two decades, riding slides and swimming in the wave pool just like I did when I was a kid. Overall, this summer has been a wonderful blend of fun and fitness, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and happy.”

“This summer, I've been balancing a few different activities. On the academic side, I've been tackling summer school chemistry. In my free time, I've been indulging in some self-care by doing my nails. It’s a fun way to relax and get creative with different colors and designs.

Plus, it’s nice to have a little bit of pampering amidst all the studying.

Apart from that, I’ve been spending quality time with my friends. We’ve been trying to make the most of the summer by hanging out, going to the mall, and enjoying each other's company. It’s been great to have that balance between work and play, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the summer.”

“So far, summer has been really surprising and busy after trying new things for myself.

I’ve never had such a busy summer now that as a junior, tasks get bigger and harder to complete. I’m really excited though! Football season is coming up soon, I’ve been working really hard for people to see how much effort I put in every single day. Lastly, I’m happy to say that I managed to survive summer school, (art is really hard for me). I can’t wait to see what this year is gonna bring to all of us, have a great summer!”

DIEGO NOVELO, LPHS GENERAL MEMBER

DONIA CAO, WHS GENERAL MEMBER

Summer has gone by so quickly!

I’ve gone on many vacations such as going to New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C, and Canada, which was a fun experience. In a few weeks, I will be out camping for my last summer vacation of this year!

ANTHONY WHITE WOHS MEMBER

HOW HAS YOUR SUMMER BEEN SO FAR???

My summer has not been relaxing so far because I don’t like to relax, but instead, I like to challenge myself by trying to do new things for my education or to keep me busy. For example, I’m learning how to speak French, and that’s doing well. Also, I’ve been practicing making cakes and pastries. As well as all that, I’ve been working in my uncle’s taco shop and playing video games at night
